The Deep Dive: What Established Developers Need to Know
SmartBear’s quality resource site, Software Quality Connection hosted a panel of authors/contributors and editors of The Architecture of Open Source Applications: Elegance, Evolution, and a Few Fearless Hacks – in a revealing special explaining how applications are structured, and answering questions like: what are each program's major components; how do they interact; what did their builders learn during their development and, how can you leverage their experiences in your own endeavors?
View On Demand Now Agile methodologies, especially eXtreme Programming (XP), incorporate testing techniques during development has ways to cut software development time/cost while also improving quality. Compared to traditional test-last (or never) development and reactive testing approaches, XP practices such as writing executable tests before writing program code can help deliver working code quicker. XP deserves praise for highlighting advantages of using more proactive testing techniques. However, XP (and other development approaches) still miss out on far greater benefits possible from using the full range of additional more powerful approaches and techniques described within the Proactive Testing™ methodology.
